Xiao Yuhan thought that she should leave this kind of thing to Miao Xiaodie to make up, and that she should say less and make fewer mistakes.
Bai Yao thought for a moment, then asked, "Then... what kind of girl does Master like?"
Seeing that Bai Yao was willing to talk to him today, Xiao Yuhan's previous anxiety disappeared. He originally thought that this girl was difficult to communicate with during her rebellious phase, but now that she was willing to communicate, he didn't mind saying more.
He then said, "Master doesn't seem to have any particular favorites... Oh right, Master likes devoted girls! The kind of girls who can be reckless for love, yet still live their own lives."
Xiao Yuhan thought of the girl in green in a certain book and felt a little longing for her, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "However, there aren't many people like that. There's no reason to like someone. It's like the summer evening breeze brushing past your ear, the cicadas chirping incessantly in the forest, the clear lake in front of you, and the bright moonlight on the lake. Do you think I like the evening breeze or the cicadas? Or the lake or the moonlight? I don't think it's any of those. It's just that at that moment, a slight flutter arose in my heart, that's all."
Bai Yao seemed to understand but not quite, and smiled slightly, saying, "Master, what you said is so convoluted... So, does Master like Yao'er?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was taken aback. Under the moonlight, the girl's gaze was very sincere, her eyes seemingly holding a galaxy of stars, which was captivating. Xiao Yuhan remained silent for a long time. He liked the girl's clean eyes, which were untouched by the world and were pure.
But soon, Xiao Yuhan shook his head and smiled, "Yao'er is my disciple, of course I like her."
However, as soon as Xiao Yuhan finished speaking, Bai Yao raised her hand and gently smoothed the hair that was hanging down by her temple. "Is that all?"
Xiao Yuhan felt something was amiss, so he became even more silent, his eyes growing dimmer. "Yes, that's all."
However, Bai Yao was not saddened by this. She noticed Xiao Yuhan's evasive gaze and seemed to understand something. She smiled slightly and said, "Yao'er was just joking with Master... Yao'er also likes Master, likes Junior Uncle, and likes everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect..."
After saying that, the girl stood up gracefully and slowly walked towards her room.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few; tonight, the moonlight is clear and bright.
The girl hummed a little tune happily as she walked back to her room, as if the whole world had become dazzling because of her.
Watching Bai Yao's departing figure, Xiao Yuhan was stunned. His expression was very complicated, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Only after Bai Yao left did he look up at the bright moon in the night sky and sigh softly.
...
Tonight, a guest came to the back mountain of the Discipline Hall. He entered Li Xianyun's room, and in the darkness, a candle was lit.
"Young Master Li, are you asleep so early?"
Li Qianyun quickly stood up, and upon seeing the young man in front of her, asked, "Why are you here?"
Why can't I come?
"You're going to get me killed!" Li Qianyun said solemnly, deliberately lowering his voice for fear of being discovered.
"You've already done it, what are you afraid of? When are you going to give me the thing?" the man in black questioned.
"Wait a little longer, it's not a good time for me to make a move."
"I can't wait any longer! Tomorrow night, I need to see it by tomorrow night, or else... you know the consequences!"
Li Qianyun gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Get this straight, I'm not working for you, I just want to repay that person!"
"But you've already done so much for us, Young Master Li. Your abilities are also quite impressive. After this matter is over, come and work for me. Putting aside everything else, I can give you power, status, and wealth!"
"Shut up! I will not betray my sect!"
The man in black snorted, "Did you have a choice? Who do you think Xiao Yuhan is? He's the mighty Sword Immortal who slays evil. If he knew what you've done for us, would he let you off so easily?"
Li Qianyun brandished her immortal sword and pointed it at the man in black. "I'm warning you, this is the last thing I'll do for you. I'll give you the item after I steal it, but if you dare to betray me afterwards, I'm capable of anything!"
